Angry protesters have shut down the Ondo State Governor’s Office in Alagbaka, Akure, following the killing of five farmers by armed herdsmen at Aba Oyinbo in Akure North Local Government Area.
The victims were reportedly shot dead during an attack by the assailants in the early hours of Wednesday. Outraged by the state government’s perceived inaction over the recurring killings, the protesters stormed the Governor’s Office, displaying the bod+es of the deceased.
Traffic was severely disrupted along the Akure/Owo Road as demonstrators gathered in Ogbese, blocking the highway in protest.
This latest attack comes just two weeks after armed herdsmen allegedly killed 20 farmers across four farm settlements in the same local government area.
